Former BBC Radio 2 DJ, Scott Mills has broken his silence and said he had been subject to “rumour and speculation” since the BBC announced his sacking earlier this week.
Mills was fired on Monday over “allegations about his personal conduct”. It later emerged he was investigated by police in 2016 after claims of “serious sexual offences” against a teenage boy under 16 between 1997 and 2000. The case was closed in 2019 after officers deemed there was insufficient evidence to bring charges.
